"Under armor" baseball shoes The state-of-the-art shoes that correspond to the various move that the planning staff speaks
The shop in the Under Armor Baseball House Kawasaki Kuji facility, which reopened in August 2017, has a complete line-up of products for baseball players to evolve and win. This time, we asked Mr. Akihiro Higuchi, who is in charge of shoe planning, about the characteristics of shoes that are the key to movement in baseball.

――「アンダーアーマー・ベースボールハウス川崎久地」では、どのようなシューズを扱っていますか。
Higuchi: Here, basically shoes for baseball player are handled in cross category. As we do apparel, we do not categorize like "I can only use it in baseball, I can only use it in training".
――アンダーアーマーさんのシューズの特徴を教えてください。
Higuchi：トレーニングシューズは、 アメリカ本社で作っているモノとなります。デザイン面（カラー）に関して、日本市場にあるシューズというのは、白、黒、赤、紺を基調にしたシューズが多いです。
In order to keep ourselves from such practice, we have made shoes of many colors every season and want them to be influenced by players wearing them at the time of professional baseball camping Customers are on the rise.
Depending on the training method, it is used not only for baseball but also for training various sports.
Spike, as a thing I'd like to do in the future rather than the current feature, I would like to develop things that have full-length cushions at the full-length midsole, midsole location and have stability.
In MLB, America basically only full length shoes are worn. 日本では踵の部分だけにクッションが入っているモノが定番となっていて確かに良い面もあるんですが、一方で日本の中高生たちは凄く長い時間練習をすると足に負担が出てくるので、そうならないようにフルレングスを履いていただければ疲労を軽減することができます。
Since it is common in the United States, the best thing when considering performance is not full length. After 2018 I think that I would like to incorporate it into various models and make it Japan specification.
――日本では土のグランドが多いですね。
Higuchi: Since the outsole is changed to Japan specification, there is no problem, but as for the mid sole it is based on the world standard, so I would like to change the meaning by adopting full length there.
- Do you have any recommended shoes?
Higuchi: It becomes a shoe making full use of the technology "clutch fit". Although it is hard to see a little, the material of the mesh changes the shape of the foot, saying the augeric structureIt will stretch according to.
The shape of the foot changes while playing sports, and it is the most characteristic of being able to move while keeping fit with the foot all the time according to it. That's why it is called "clutch fit". Cushioning property, grip property, light weight, breathability etc. I think that fitting is the most important among various functions required for shoes.
If the foot shifts in the shoes, it is likely to lead to injury by using extra power by influencing performance, so to avoid it, we strike out the item called "clutch fit" the most I will.
――「クラッチフィット」は、ベースボール以外にもありますよね。
Higuchi：これは、アンダーアーマーシューズのテクノロジーでして、サッカー、バスケット、トレーニングシューズでも使っているモノになります。
When the foot is raised in the normal state, when the foot lands, the arch will collapse and will spread a little. The feet deform into various shapes when raising and lowering, running, swinging, and jumping.
Common shoes will not fit by movement, but if it is a thing called this aujetic structure, the shoes will deform according to the shape of the foot, so you can move with confidence as you fit any condition.
――スイングする時に、左右の足の動きが違うので重心が崩れてしまうのではないかと思います。
Higuchi: Height of the point Material, arch, arch of the ball of the thumb, rotational traction is saidI decide placement and length considering such movement.
For example, if you rotate your feet securely, the force of the ball can be transmitted to the bat and you can hit, so we are thinking about out sole including the material so that it stops after rotating.
This is a charged cushion, every manufacturer is doing shock absorption and repulsion with respect to cushion, but repulsion power will also change against the degree of shock.
スイング時、走り出した時、それぞれ衝撃のかかり方や反発力が違いますが、スイングしてから走り出すまでに非常にスムーズな動作となり良いパフォ―マンスが生まれるようになります。 (Up)
